Harrow & Hope Pinot Meunier 2019 (6 Bottles) Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England
£228.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
85% of this wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the unique aromatic qualities of this variety. The rest was fermented in a 500 litre oak puncheon to build structure and length. This is a naturally soft and elegant wine with a subtle floral nose but also has a savory, saline edge. The palate has a moreish quality because of the soft acid profile and elegant almost feather light feel, with the saline finish really drawing you back to have another glass. This wine seems to get better every time I try it. Being the first iteration it’s difficult to say how long it might go on for but if balance is the key to longevity then this has it in abundance.
About Harrow & Hope
Over half a million years, the Chiltern Hills were shaped by the retreating Thames, leaving behind a unique terroir perfect for sparkling wine. Our 6.5-hectare vineyard, perched on a Thames gravel terrace near Marlow, is a labour of love. The flint and clay soils may be a challenge to cultivate—as two broken harrows remind us—but their complexity is key to our exceptional wines.
Harrow & Hope’s single-vineyard estate thrives on the synergy of site and craft. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier vines are grown, harvested, and expertly blended by our dedicated team. Every bottle of Harrow & Hope is a tribute to traditional method winemaking and the natural elements that define our wines’ character.
The journey began with my family’s deep-rooted passion for wine. My first harvest at 17 in France ignited a lifelong obsession, further honed in Australia. In 2010, after studying biology (and borrowing notes from my wife, Kaye, whom I met at Durham University), we found our dream site in Marlow. Since then, we’ve planted vines, built a winery, and welcomed three children.
Inspired by the guidance of pioneers like Mike Roberts OBE and Dr. Tony Jordan, we strive to honour our terroir. Our organic practises nurture the vineyard’s biome, from cover crops to homemade compost, fostering harmony with nature. Ten years on, our wines reflect the site’s potential, and we’re proud of the recognition they’ve received, supported by customers who share our love for world-class sparkling wine.

Black Chalk Wild Sparkling Rosé 2021 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Blend: 55% Pinot Noir, 31% Pinot Meunier, 14% Chardonnay
Wild Rose Sparkling Rosé captivates with its delicate wild-rose pink hue, exuding elegance and complexity. On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe red berries intertwine with subtle floral nuances.
The palate is a delightful balance of freshness and bright fruit, with luscious notes of strawberries and raspberries complemented by a soft, creamy texture, a result of partial malolactic fermentation. This harmonious interplay concludes with a beautifully long, refined finish.
Aged for a minimum of 22 months on lees and rested an additional six months on cork post-disgorgement, this sparkling rosé demonstrates exceptional maturity and finesse.
Wild Rose shines alongside sashimi and maki rolls, enhanced by the salty tang of soy sauce and the zing of fresh ginger. It also pairs effortlessly with charcuterie boards and cheese platters. For a casual yet elevated option, try it with spicy lamb koftas, flatbreads, and a cooling burrata and tomato salad.

Harrow & Hope Brut Reserve No. 8 (6 Bottles) Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our multi-vintage blend uses fruit from all varieties and areas of our single vineyard to produce a wine that displays the unique qualities of the whole site. Using reserve wines, aged in oak, that have been carefully built up and nurtured from our very first harvest, we can add layers of complexity and texture to each wine. Every numbered release has it’s own identity and make up, which we love to celebrate. No 8 is based on the wonderful Pinot year that is 2019. It was a cooler and longer ripening season than 2018 and gives this wine a more elegant and focussed structure. The pronounced Pinot character is already giving lovely toasty complexity which will continue to build over the next few years. Enjoy on release but will also reward further ageing.

Raimes Demi-Sec 2017 (6 Bottles) Alresford, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A full bodied style that is lifted and fresh. Baked apple, ripe lemon, peach blossom and brioche. Super delicious!
Raimes Demi Sec 92 points "A Charming beautifully poised demi-sec sparkler from Raimes of South Downs. Bruised apple over a savoury tone of yeast. Partial ageing in oak followed by 42 months on lees gave the 2017 vintage a concentrated, textured palate of red apple, brioche and umami... The well-balanced red fruit sweetness comes from 34 g/l of sugar offset by 10g/l of acid with more weight and hazelnuts on the finish. Moreish and long.
